5 Current Issues

The main issue encountered so far is the memory limitations of the devices with 256 MB RAM; GHC will execute fine, but problems will start to arise when using cabal-install to install new libraries, especially ones with lots of dependencies.

Potential solutions to this problem have been suggested, including using QEMU on a more powerful system and thus compiling your application there and copying the resulting binary across to your Raspberry Pi
